Visual art makes it possible to approach the notions of digital identities, and culture, freedom of expression and intercultural dialogue.
Art has an impact on creativity and is an essential factor to access knowledge and universal values and principles, and to connect problems with emerging solutions. Art and artists bridge the gaps between people, cultures, and time. Art is an ecological transformation. Visual art makes it possible to approach the notions of digital identities, and culture, freedom of expression and intercultural dialogue.
It is about exploring the patient's unconscious, through his dreams by missing the acts or his slips of the tongue, "revealing" of what is going on in the lower layers of his sound spirit. Its objective is above all to enable the patient to get to know himself and to reconcile with himself. It is a process, more than a healing process. All this theory is therefore based on the existence of an unconscious in the mind of Man, a presupposition that will also be criticized, but which still remains relevant.
In many cases of dementia, therapy can help the resolution of the mind and spirit. The patient is not an artist, since it is precisely a question of bringing out his spiritual consciousness and to purify his passions, to free him from his knowledge, an important reflexion on philosophy. Art is an expression, an activity, which is unique to human consciousness and appears to have many effects beneficial to the mind.
“Art allows us to live and embellish a world far too hard to support - Plotinus says that art imitates the world, contain the model it imitates”.
Art is often linked to confusion and darkness, and expresses depression, tortured soul, discomfort, and disturbance, but reassures, and remains a source of living. Art is a remedy for their evil, and starry nights of darkness. Mortality salience, or the knowledge of approaching death, was manipulated in a study aimed at examining how aesthetic preferences for seemingly meaningful and meaningless art are influenced by intimations of mortality.
The field application of psychology of science and art use of this medium to help the patient make a transformation, a change. A means of symbolic communication, and personality, knowledge, that lead to change, the questioning of oneself. Stress and anxiety bring out the natural expression in the creative process, that is called psychotherapy, or a discipline of symbolic art form of communication, precisely science of art. Considered to be a subjective field, in which one composes and views artwork in unique ways that reflect one's experience, knowledge, preference, and emotions. The aesthetic experience encompasses the relationship between the viewer and the art object.
The work of art therefore possesses knowledge, intuitive, and different from that transmitted by language, a palpable reality, and not a mere conception. Art seems to be a bridge between spirit and matter. By transfiguring it, art reveals the world but the light within.
Art seems to respond to discomfort...
The artist creates with processes that are close to those of the dream. It allows us thus to transport our passions to another reality, a world of suffering, meaningless, and that respond to the troubles of man. But sees art as a remedy, and a consolation. In this meaning, art seems to have a certain therapeutic aim. To understand the workings of art therapy, and be able to practice it, you have to understand a little bit about the basic notions, and theories of psychology.
Art resonates with the mind and sustains his knowledge...
“Hypocrates said art is generic to our being, and a source of epitome for those who reveal its origin.”
Psychology is the study of the mind, a broad definition which covers many disciplines, that is constantly moving along with the understanding that we have the human mind and its mechanisms. It is both a theoretical and practical discipline deciphering the behaviors and feelings of an individual, to help him to know himself better and to overcome the obstacles in his life. We define it today as a science that studies the compartmental functioning of mental processes.
Each approach corresponds to a vision of what Man is and how he interacts with his environment. Thus, one can imagine explaining the malfunctioning, either by the internal behavior of the human brain, or by the influence of its environment.
This theory is accused of operating a reduction of the human. Indeed, the human is considered as a simple organism performing a sequence of actions that are responses to stimuli.
This scientific theory has therefore more or less collapsed, even if the "therapies simplistic behavioural” emerge.
In psychoanalysis, our response, and therefore our mental health, are greatly influenced by our environment.
We take a look at the actions, which are the very aspects visible from our conduct, and on the other the events that occur in the immediate environment of a subject. The symptom is then considered a system malfunction. This theory is generally attributed to experimental connections and ignores the term of consciousness and reduce human conducts to a set of stimuli and responses. So, problems in the working environment are considered a source of mental dysfunction.
Modern psychology is divided into several branches depending on the field in which it operates, from work psychology to school psychology. We also see today alternating currents, outside the medical field strictly speaking, which bring new concepts such as mindfulness. It is also necessary to take into account these interesting new ideas, which are intimately linked to art therapy. It is an emerging multidisciplinary field of inquiry, closely related to the psychology of aesthetics, including neuro-aesthetics, such as viewing a painting or touching a sculpture.
Art being a work of the mind...
